Andrew Wakefield reveals the the inside story of the vaccine-autism
connection, and his controversial research.

As Andrew Wakefield states in his prologue, “If autism does not
affect your family now, it will. If something does not
change—and change soon—this is almost a mathematical certainty.
This book affects you also. It is not a parochial look at a
trivial medical spat in the United Kingdom, but dispatches from
the battlefront in a major confrontation—a struggle against
compromise in medicine, corruption of science, and a real and
present threat to children in the interests of policy and
profit. It is a story of how ‘the system’ deals with dissent
among its doctors and scientists.”

In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines,
intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children,
Wakefield lost his job in London’s Royal Free Hospital, his
country of birth, his career, and his medical license. A recent
General Medical Council ruling stated that he was “dishonest,
irresponsible and showed callous disregard for the distress and
pain of children.” Maligned by the medical establishment and
mainstream media, Wakefield endeavors to set the record straight
in Callous
Disregard. While explaining what really happened, he
calls out the organizations and individuals that are acting not
for the sake of children affected by autism, but in their own
self-interests.

Andrew Wakefield reveals the inside story of
desperate parents trying to help their autistic children, only
to be labeled as abusers by social workers, medical
professionals, and the courts.

As the number of children diagnosed with autism
spectrum disorders grows each year, new discoveries and
controversies arise. Andrew Wakefield explores many of these in
his thorough investigation of the recent trial case of the
“Arizona 5,” which destroyed an Arizona family. Two parents,
with five children on the spectrum, were accused of Münchausen
syndrome by proxy—a rare form of child abuse—and were ganged up
on by physicians, child protective services, and the courts, who
alleged that the parents fabricated medical symptoms in all five
children. However, Wakefield now presents ample evidence that
was disregarded and which would have proven the parents’
innocence.

Families
affected by autism suffer great hardship and prejudice,
particularly as they navigate the uncertain waters of diagnosis,
treatment, and education. The shocking story of the Arizona 5
family delves into the tremendous challenges some parents have
to face, especially if their views on how to treat the syndrome
don’t align with the medical world’s standards. Wakefield also
includes numerous studies and research trials that support the
controversial yet significant roles that vaccines and diet play
in autism, factors many medical professionals wrongfully
dismiss.

Reviews on Waging War on the
Autistic Child

"Andy Wakefield is a symbol of strength and conviction
that all parents of children with autism can use to fight
for truth and the best lives possible for their kids.”—Jenny McCarthy

"Anyone reading Dr. Wakefield’s comprehensive review of
the scientific literature on autism cannot ignore his
compelling arguments that many causal pathways have been
inadequately studied. Far from the public image of a rogue
scientist, Dr. Wakefield has dared to challenge entrenched
orthodoxy to keep an open mind.”
—Sheldon Krimsky, professor, Department of Urban and
Environmental Policy and Planning, Department of Public
Health and Community Medicine, Tufts University; author,
Science in the Private Interest

“Brilliantly written,
the author chronicles the disturbingly true story of a
family of five autistic children abused by Arizona’s Child
Protective Services. Through this magnifying glass, readers
begin to understand how families with autistic children in
our day are reliving the European Renaissance, a time when
the fundamental principles of modern medicine remained
scorned by the medical establishment for centuries to come.”
—David L. Lewis, PhD, former senior-level research
microbiologist for the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Office of Research and Development

“In this book, Dr.
Wakefield strives to empower and bring hope to families with
children with autism.” —Wendy Fournier, president, National Autism Association

“Dr. Andrew
Wakefield, who exemplifies courage and concern for children
and families with the utmost truth and integrity,
illuminates the devastating consequences possible to
families who dare to question the mainstream medical
establishment.” —Ed Arranga, executive director, AutismOne
